A decade after a knife-edge vote decided that Britain would leave the EU, most people now think that the withdrawal has had a “negative impact” on the cost of living crisis, immigration, and opportunities for young people.
This is according to a new poll by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), which reveals that the majority of Britons – 57 per cent – believe that the UK was “wrong to leave” the EU.
The polling, which was carried out by YouGov and Mandate, asked Brits whether they felt that the UK was better off in a number of different areas since distancing itself from its European neighbours.
Most said Brexit had had a “negative impact” on the issues they cared about most – and had left the UK poorer, and less safe.
The new data has been released the day after 1,500 campaigners marked the 10-year anniversary of the Brexit vote by marching across London whilst calling for the UK to rejoin the EU.
